STOP THE FLOW

To the editor:

Remind me again. Why do we want illegal aliens coming into the U.S.?

A huge marijuana pot farm in Santa Barbara County, containing 30,000
plants supported by Mexican drug traffickers, is most likely the
reason for the 88,000-acre fire in Southern California. Authorities
theorize the fire was started by a cooking fire.

According to our own county drug enforcement folks, these pot farms
are usually tended by illegal aliens. Wasn't a pot farm suspected in
the Knight Fire? Why can't the federal government stop the flow of
illegals from Mexico and pot farms in our national forest? Seems like
stopping the inflow would help balance budgets. It certainly makes one wonder.
